Abstract

Two cases of increased bone density after callus distraction are described following percutaneous administration of 3.5 mg recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-7 (rhBMP-7). Both patients underwent segmental resection and segmental transport for osteomyelitis of the long bones (femur and tibia) but no callus maturation occurred. After percutaneous administration of rhBMP-7 the callus density increased in both cases.
